I am headed for home after many years.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

If I can find my way through all my tears.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Things are not the same as they used to be.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Much has changed. Some very recently.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A fire has wiped out much of the town.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There are many new buildings around.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Home is not what it used to be.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Much of it is different to me.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I head out of town toward my home.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A small farm where I have grown.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There it is looking much the same.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It is like an old friend in name.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I feel the old nostalgia here.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This is home. That is clear.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I have been away far too long.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Now, I feel like singing a song.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I felt rocky till I arrived here.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This old farm takes away all my fear.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

It is you in the doorway that I see.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I feel your fingers feather soft upon me.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I taste your kisses, sweet as honey.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I was gone, just to make some money.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

But, the real riches are here in my arms.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I am overwhelmed by your charms.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I am home to never roam again.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Here with my lifelong lover and friend.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
